Mei Mei Street Kitchen

Why?This is one food truck worth chasing down.

Boston is crazy for food trucks this year. We're not sure why, really. Maybe because it's a restaurant that you don't have to walk into. Or because you don't always know where it is. Even with a few downsides, there are some food trucks that make the trendiness quotient worth stomaching, like Mei Mei Street Kitchen. Using locally sourced, farm-centered ingredients -- probably unlike your usual takeout spot -- the three siblings behind this operation cook up Chinese-American street food like crispy pork buns, macaroni and cheese with slow-cooked pork, and red-wine braised beef and cheese dumplings. They're usually around the Back Bay during the week, but follow them on Twitter to find out at @meimeifoodtruck.
